All-Big Ten point guard Marcus Carr is coming back to college and he has four schools on his list of possible destinations (none of them Minnesota, his old school… sorry, Minnesota). The University of Kentucky would’ve been in the conversation a couple of months ago before John Calipari filled his roster with six guards, but Kentucky can’t be one of Carr’s finalists now, right?

Wrong. According to both Jon Rothstein and Jeff Borzello, Carr is looking to Kansas, Louisville, Texas and Kentucky for his final season of college basketball. One of the best guards in the country a year ago, Carr averaged 19.4 points, five assists and four rebounds per game for the Gophers in 2020-21, with game-highs of 41, 35, 32 and 30 points on his highlight reel.

Carr was a hot name in UK Basketball conversations back in April with many speculating he would pick Kentucky if he pulled his name out of the draft. Now he is withdrawing from the draft and apparently not afraid of the crowded backcourt Calipari added since April.

ESPN recently ranked Carr as the No. 2 transfer in the portal, behind Kofi Cockburn, who is also considering Kentucky.

Calipari is building a super team, but this one still seems very unlikely.
